Mexican citizens residing in Kaufman, Texas, have an opportunity to obtain or renew their Mexican passports through the "Consulado Sobre Ruedas" (Consulate on Wheels) program. The mobile consulate will be available from Monday, August 24, to Friday, August 28, marking its final scheduled stop for August.

While securing an appointment for the service is free of charge, the issuance of the passport itself incurs fees ranging from $44 to $209, depending on the requested validity period. The program is hosted at the First Baptist Church, located at 2000 W Fair St, Kaufman, Texas.

Interested individuals can book their appointments through the MiConsulado website or by sending a WhatsApp message to 1-424-309-0009. This initiative follows previous stops in Corsicana, Dallas, and Fort Worth earlier in August, providing essential consular services to the Mexican community in Texas.
